In the 1800s, the previous owners planted the pine forest at Skogskyrkogården with the intention of producing quality building material. As a result, the trees grew tall and straight, with minimal side branches. Some of these pines are now nearly 200 years old.
Currently, approximately 9,000 of these old pines remain. Each tree is valued and meticulously maintained to ensure longevity. Occasionally, trees are removed due to age or disease. To maintain forest density, young pines are planted, grown from seeds collected from the healthiest specimens. It will take at least 80 years for these new pines to reach the height of the older ones.
